Page Seven What's Cooking One of The Mirror’s Yankee read ers in New York City wants a recipe for “real Southern corn bread.” There are quite a few such recipes. The one we’re passings along is seldom used, in Dixie today, but it dates back to General Robert E. Lee and even earlier. If you all up yonder want to try it, break two small eggs from a South ern hen into a bowl and add one teaspoon of salt. Then add one tea spoon of sugar, and beat with a fOTk. Add one cup of buttermilk in which one-half teaspoon of baking soda has been stirred. Add one cup of commeal, one teaspoon of baking [ powder, two tablespoons of bacon grease or oil, one-half cup of cold, I left-over grits, and mix quickly and [ pour into a hot, greased iron skillet. Bake about 15 or 20 minutes in a 1400 degree oven. (The recipe warns that you can’t make this com bread [unless you have cold grits on hand.) i We’re yet to try it, but we are told [that it’s substantial and sticks to- [gether instead of crumbling. And ‘tfs said, it also crunches. iBrown and slightly crusty, it en- icloses a tight, slightly moist, and al- fmost chewy inside, l^rved hot from [the oven, it emits almost a hiss of [steam, as the firs^ piece is cut open [ and a large chunk of butter is slip- fped in to melt.

GARDNER This is “Scuppernong” time in the South’s cotton belt. In eastern Caro lina this delightful fmit reaches per fection in all of its distinctive, tasty goodness. Every family in eastern Carolina should have Muscadine grapes if they have room enough. More should be grown for commercial sale, too. The Scuppernong is still the most desirable variety of the large Musca dine family and should be included in your variety list. One vine each of Topsail ‘ and Burgaw planted with Scuppernong will give you variety and plenty of fruit for the family and friends. _ hasten to remind you that you’re missing the finest October seafood anyone could ask for, if you aren’t enjoying the wonderful spots avail able at your favorite fish market. Folks down east have long liiMsfCtl that spots in season top all other fish, and we heartHy agree. They aren’t in season long, so you’d better get them whUe you can.

If you are interested in planting Muscadines for either home or com mercial use, write me and I will send you information. “Please suggest a method of grow ing strawberries to cut the weed problem to a minimum.” Select a good spot in your garden 5 feet wide and 60 feet long, or the equivalent in square feet. Have the soil tested and apply fertiliizer and lime as indicated. If fertilizer is in dicated, especially phosphate, apply to surface and plow under. For convenience, let’s assume that you have available a plot of ground 5 feet X 60 feet. Plow up a low bed 5 feet X 60 feet. Prepare the soil as for seed sowing. Fumigate the pre pared area with methyl bromide, one-pound (can) per 100 square feet. This will require thre one-pound cans for the 300 square feet. The gas must be confined. For this, use a plastic cover, which may be purchased from your garden center. This material is poisonus, so carefully follow instruc- tlMis on the can.
